hardly to be called scarce, although 

 there is no overaupply. 



Cosmos has appeared, now a surer 

 sign than the arrival of chrysanthe- 

 mums of the approach of autumn. 



Summer Flower Show. 



The unfavorable weather showed its 

 eflfects to a certain extent at the sum- 

 mer flower exhibition of the Horticul- 

 tural Society of Chicago, which was held 

 Augast 14 and 15 in the Art Institute. 

 The principal displays were, of course, 

 of gladioli. In several classes no entries 

 were made and the exhibitors of gladioli 

 who figured in the list of prize-winners 

 numbered only three: Vaughan's Seed 

 Store, W. W. Barnard Co. and Bidwell 

 & Fobes, the latter of Kinsman, O. The 

 popular named varieties constituted the 

 bulk of their displays. A wonderful col- 

 lection of unusual varieties, including 

 those of the ruffled type, were shown 

 by A. E. Kund»erd, of (Joshen, Ifld., for 

 exhibition only. ' 



Entries in the private garfle^'fe^rs' and 

 amateur classes were not numerous. Paul 

 Dieball, of Hubbard Woods, took first 

 prizes for his displays of lilies and gla- 

 dioli, and C. Antoszowski, of Glencoe, 

 took two second prizes in the classes of 

 gladioli and cut hardy annuals, no first 

 prize being awarded in the latter. A. 

 Anthes, gardener for Mrs. B. J. Dun- 



ham, Hubbard Woods, took the silver 

 medal offered for hydrangeas and the 

 bronze medal for nasturtiums. The sil- 

 ver medal in the latter class was cap- 

 tured by J. J. Krupa, gardener for N. W. 

 Harris, of Lake Geneva, who also took 

 the silver cup for the collective exhibit 

 of perennials and annuals, offered by 

 Ernst Wienhoeber, vice-president of the 

 society. Mr. Krupa 's display was a fine 

 one, comprising more than 100 vases of 

 distinct varieties, which covered a large 

 table and extended along one side of 

 the wall against the statuary. Paul Die- 

 ball was given second place in this class. 

 Some good asters won first prize for G. 

 Swenson, Elmhurst, 111. Quite a fine 

 show of phloxes for display only were 

 sent by C. O. Youngstrand, of Golf, 

 111. E. F. Winterson showed a hand- 

 some vase of Meehan's Mallow Marvels 

 grown at his residence. 



' Association Meeting. 



Allie Zech presided at the monthly 

 meeting of the Cook County Florists' 

 Association at the Tavern August 14, 

 President A. C. Kohlbrand being con- 

 fined to his home by an attack or lum- 

 bago. F. D. Wallace and W. S. McGee 

 were elected to associate membership 

 and the application of James Morton 

 was received. The principal work of 

 the evening was preparation for the con- 

 vention, now a matter of the past. Com- 



mittees were appointed to meet visitors 

 at the depots August 18. The commit- 

 tee reported everything in readiness for 

 the picnic at Karthauser's grove Sep- 

 tember 7. 



Various Notes. 



John C. Michelsen is lettiner the con- 

 tracts for a new home in River Forest. 



There were a lot of visitors in town 

 in the last week, first salesmen working 

 toward Minneapolis, followed by the 

 men the salesmen went to meet, but not 

 so many of either as had been expected- 



D. E. Freres says his growers are sell- 

 ing their surplus carnation plants in 

 quick time this year. 



Friends of O. W. Frese regret to learn 

 that Mrs. Frese is not so well as they 

 would wish. Little Miss Frese is vro- 

 gressing finely. 



That new B-cylipder Locomobile is 

 occupying a large part of N. J. Wietor 9 

 attention this week. C. A. AUes say- it 

 is so noiseless you can not hear it crm- 

 ing, it runs so fast you can scarcely ?6e 

 it go by, and about all you get is the 

 smell of the exhaust unless Mr. Wietor 

 invites you to take a ride. 



Tim Matchen and wife reached houie 

 August 16, after a most en.ioyable tiiP 

 south. They went as far as Columbus, 

 Miss.
